Yorkshire
Leaving Cumbria, we drove across the Yorkshire Dales in the morning sunshine and afternoon rain to Hawes. Because it rained for most of the night, the hills were running with water in the morning and it was quite a picture, rolling hills of green, stone walls, stone barns, stone houses, sheep and heather. We came across a steam train pulling wooden carriages across a viaduct and we felt we must have stepped out of the Tardus. Hawes has a Herriot Hotel to remind us of All Creatures Great and Small but we ate In the little Crown Hotel as the fireplace was going. Driving across the Dales, we entered a town called Commondale and had to wait for two sheep crossing the road in front of the pub. They must have been heading to the baa.
